Yankees in Tank's: Little Ribbon Army

Chapter 2

During the Events of Chapter 2 few hours before the Attack.

As many tankery schools from every state in America gathered to attend the American Tankery League event in Los Angeles, California, the event organizers welcomed the Sensha-do Federation schools wishing to join the American Tankery second winter tournament.

With many leagues welcoming every Japanese Sensha-do school, one school ship carrier finally docked. The girls from Bellwall Academy began disembarking, surprised by the warm American welcome.

"Wow, I never thought the Americans would go all out for this event," Hitomi remarked, looking at all the welcome banners.

"Speaking of the Americans, look at all the cars they have here," Kanako pointed out, showing the finest cars, especially the commanders' vehicles. Graham's car was a dark red Porsche with his last name on the plate.

"Whoever did that to their car must be some crazy American," Tsurugiko said to her twin sister, Kanako.

"Yeah, especially that motorcycle," Kanako added, pointing to a Triumph Bonneville T100 parked nearby. The Kashiwaba sisters continued to check out every single car parked around them.

While the other girls from Bellwall Academy looked around, the scene shifted to Emi, who was watching a TV screen showing famous American commanders. The screen displayed highlights of the American Commander who won the match on Oshima Island. It first showed Major Commander Elijah of Kansas Chief High, followed by Commander Wesley standing proudly in his British Commander uniform from Washington Boys and Girls Academy. Next was Commander Graham, shown fixing his hair in his signature taunt and flexing with his team from Grand Lake High. Then, Commander Muller appeared, marching with his team from North High School in WW2 German uniforms.

Finally, the screen showed the Marshal Commander of Davy Crockett, with many Rangers standing at attention. Sergeant Dean, a drill instructor and third in command, was seen alongside Vice Commander Jefferson, who wore sunglasses and a yellow scarf around his neck, overseeing the Rangers.

The last clips focused on Major and Marshal Commander Don Houston, showcasing his skills. He was seen entering a quick draw duel against Commander Chiaki of the Federation, pointing his MK.22 tranquilizer pistol, and engaging in combat both inside and outside of tanks. Multiple clips showed him using CQC (Close Quarters Combat) techniques and infiltrating enemy positions. One clip even showed Houston fighting against Maho Nishizumi, surprising Emi with the realization that Miho's older sister had faced this formidable 'S-Rank American Commander.'

As Emi continued to watch the screen, she couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and nervousness. The American commanders were clearly formidable, and the upcoming tournament was going to be a challenging experience. She turned to Hitomi, who was also watching the screen with a serious expression.

"Do you think we're ready for this?" Emi asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

Hitomi smiled confidently. "Of course we are. We've trained hard, and we have each other. Besides, it's not just about winning; it's about learning and growing as a team."

Kanako and Tsurugiko, having finished admiring the cars, joined the conversation. "Did you see that last clip? Houston is like a real-life action hero!" Kanako exclaimed.

"Hi there! I'm Samantha, captain of the West Coast Warriors. Welcome to America!" she said warmly.

Emi shook her hand, grateful for the friendly welcome. "Thank you! I'm Emi from Bellwall Academy. It's great to be here."

Samantha's eyes twinkled with excitement. "I've heard a lot about Japanese Sensha-do. It's an honor to have you all here. How about we show you around and introduce you to some of the other teams?"
